Answer 2

Bonjour

First of all, ther"s a mistake in the passé composé :

the passé composé of "être" is the auxiliary "avoir" in the présent tense + the past participle of "être" => été

j'ai été

tu as été

il/elle/on a été

nous avons été

vous avez été

ils/elles ont été.

They are both past tenses.

The "imparfait" is a simple tense that you use to describe things in the past, with no specific indications "when" "where", that were happening on a regular basis, or non specific number of time...

The "passé composé" is a compound tense that you use for completed actions, when the action happen a specific number of time, when an action interrupts one which was in the "imparfait".
